Map jumping back to current location

Post by Coolmama

At one time it was possible to view different parts of the map while flying from one flightpoint to another. Nowadays the map keeps jumping back into my current position while flying.

Is there some setting that stops the map from jumping back?

Been having this problem for ages, I guess there is no way around that except for an addon that completely replaces the map.

Though, just in case, have you recently started using the addons Mapster or HandyNotes?

Doesn't it only happen when you cross zone boundaries? The change may have come with the implementation of CRZ.

No, it's always done that as you enter new areas; the map hops back while on flight paths. It doesn't do it for normal flight mounts though.

Thanks for the clarification, Adamsm. My bad.

Actually I've noticed that it does reset to current zone while on my own mount. Always does for me, in fact. Most recently about half an hour ago while flying over the wall into VotFW while checking out the Lost Treasures spots on the map.

Huh, really? I've seen it happen on a normal flight mount for myself on the zone change barriers, but rarely in the zone itself.

Oh, not in a zone, only at the crossing over from one zone to another. But it always happens and doesn't appear to be related to CRZ at all, unless they've snuck in CRZ for Pandaria without notifying us.

Oh aye, it was never about CRZ heh, this has been happening since late BC early Wrath easily.
